21 years ago today.

[Red]

Me and my mates just looked at each other with our mouthes open, eyes wide open at what we'd just seen. I even took a pic of the scoreboard. Best performance I've seen from a Sunderland side attacking wise. Phillips volley topped it off and to be honest, got scant coverage from all the pundits.

 

[Luna17]

What a, day.

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Has there been a performance even remotely close to that since?

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

De goey, Harley, Hogh, Lambourde, Desailly, Babayaro, wise, Poyet, Morris, Flo, Zola. They were absolutely battered

The day I met my Wife.
Also I had the correct score as well.
21 years but the state of club now feels like a lot more

Remember it like yesterday.

Spent too long lingering over a last drink and only made it to my seat just in time for kick off.

Barely had time to get my breath before Quinny scored

 

[KNGHTHOOD]

Will we be having a 21st party ?

Got to take the up’s with the downs with equal courtesy.

21 years hmm happy days.

 

[Simoneinzaghi]

I was just about to say Quinny’s second doesn’t get the credit it deserves.

Probably cos of how good SKP’s volley was.

Def mate. Unreal volley of it was Messi would of raved about it. Skp volley was quality but Quinn finish was technically class

 

[doodlebugs]

fabulous performance especially first half,mind,i'm pleased Gus didn't have his shooting boots on 2nd half

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

21 years ago, bleedin' Nora. I missed he first 2 (may have been 3) goals due to having an extra pint in The Cambridge.

 

[hardlife]

Ghost....take me back take me back, please. FANTASTIC day that.

 

[Big Jeff]

Did they not beat us 4-0 first game of the season at their place? Doing the welcome to the premier league.

Aye they weren’t singing at the end were they?

 

[Ambivalent Dave]

The best half of football I’ve ever seen us play. Breathtaking.

 

[taff]

Yeah, it was brilliant. Wasn't Desailly subbed at half time as Quinn destroyed him? Can't get a much bigger compliment than that.

Iirc he was subbed by John Terry for his debut

 

[Aldhun]

The Premier concourse at half time was in stunned silence..

 

[Swindon On Tour]

I took my 3 kids.
It was my youngest's first ever match. He obviously really enjoyed it and it made a massive first impression.
He's 25 now.
Pretty much all downhill since

KTF mate.
Hope it comes back for you soon. This bastard football will end us.

Cheers, same to you, and well done beating Oxford.

 

[Swindon On Tour]

Cheers, same to you, and well done beating Oxford.

We are struggling big time with injuries and had a slice of luck last week.
Desperately need some players back as some of the kids need a rest.
